Parents Shop While Their Child Cooks in a Hot Car
A disturbing scene unfolded in a store parking lot after bystanders noticed a small child left alone inside a sweltering vehicle while the parents shopped inside.
Witnesses say the child, no older than four, was strapped in the back seat, crying and sweating as temperatures inside the car climbed dangerously high. Concerned shoppers immediately called 911 and tried to comfort the child through the window while searching for the parents.
Police and emergency responders rushed to the scene, breaking a window to get the child out safely. Paramedics treated the child for heat exposure but confirmed they would recover.
Moments later, the parents casually walked out of the store with shopping bags in hand — only to be met by furious officers and an angry crowd. They were taken into custody on charges of child neglect and endangerment.
